Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma (21.5, -110) – Over

Murray is an athletic linebacker that loves to get downhill and be physical. The biggest knock teams will have on Murray is the lack of tape of him dropping into coverage. He simply wasn’t asked to do that too much at Oklahoma, and that could move him down draft boards. This is not to say he cannot cover, but teams will have questions.

In addition, LSU linebacker Patrick Queen seems to have jumped Murray in the linebacker pecking order, and there simply aren’t enough teams seeking linebackers for Murray to go inside the top 21 picks.

The Cowboys, picking at No. 17, have done their homework, but they should be prioritizing cornerback and edge rusher over linebacker (as should just about every team). The Eagles, picking at No. 21, also make sense, but they need perimeter help on offense and defense, and drafting a linebacker can wait a round or two.

CONFIDENCE LEVEL: 5
